I think Brian is doing a far better job both of presenting the programme and interviewing that Davina did. We have not got the gurning and shouting and favourtism she displayed.
This is the first year in ages I have watched the eviction programmes, as Davina McColl burst my head. Brian is lovely, a real warm down to earth people person. Long may he reign as BB presenter!

Brian can do no wrong in my eyes Loved him since his fabulous stint on SMTV. Was a bit to young to watch BB2 back in the day, but it's now my favourite series.

Have been following him for 10 years.
That's commitment! Doesn't he mind?

He doesn't seem to!

It's been an enjoyable roller coaster ride with very few dull moments.

Agreed. Brian TV appearances always entertain me. The Family Fortunes episode is a particular favourite of mine. Quite possibly the best gameshow answer ever

Yes that was great . I think certainly the best answer since Vernon took over FF.

My highlights have been: SMtv, Sky Active, Brian's Boyfriends, The Salon, The Mint, Famous and Frightened... There have been so many highlights though.

someone on another thread (who claimed to have been at last nights eviction) said that Brian was asking the crowd for more boos. Bit shitty of him, isn't it?

Last week Brian was horrified at the idea that he would encourage booing. Even if he did (which I have a hard job believing) it will have been what the producers wanted him to do.

He was great fun on the Mint with Bev. I loved his sarcastic remarks everytime an answer was repeated for the 50th time

I used to love the banter in the second half of the show. I thought he was even better with Kat Shoob than with Bev.

The FT I could understand because the winner's charity was the hospital that nursed his terminally ill grandchild. Brian couldn't compete with that.

As for Craig Stevens - a couple of years ago I heard him on my bus going home from work! He was a DJ on a commercial radio station in my area, and not even a very popular one!

Apparently he reckons a presenter of his caliber deserves more twitter followers He was the Worst. Presenter. Ever. I don't know if he has improved, but those bashing Brian want to watch him.

Fans of Brian will be interested to learn that Brian will be appearing on This Morning on ITV1 every day this coming week.

Brian will be doing his own slot which is titled "Dowling's Ding Dong", so presumably has a Christmas topic.

The This Morning website has the piece scheduled for 12.15 pm tomorrow. I expect it will be on at a similar time each day.

So good to see that Brian is still making regular appearances on This Morning.
